Texas Health Inspectors Now Have Power To Shut Down Salons Immediately

A new Texas legislature signed into law states that if Texas state health officials witness flagrant violations of sanitation standards in salons, they now have the jurisdiction to immediately close the salon. Prior to this law, inspectors could only close a salon after an investigation, which could often take months to complete. The new law comes in response to a local North Texas television investigation which showed hidden camera footage of nail salons neglecting mandated sanitation procedures.
